Ethical Trading Policy

As the leading supplier of traditional handmade bricks in the UK, we have strict trading policies and only source our products from ethical supply partners.

Integral to our business is the empowerment of sustainable and ethical supply chains and we work closely with suppliers to ensure that they deliver and meet ethical policies and business practices.

We want our trade customers, specifiers and end users to be confident that Imperial Bricks products are made ethically to the highest standards, and that those who make our bricks are treated fairly, with respect for their human rights and that they’re not exposed to unsafe working conditions.

Employment and Ethical Trade Initiative Code

All our partner factories must meet specified employment guidelines and treat their employees with respect within a safe and healthy work environment. For any non-compliances specifically relating to ETI codes identified in an audit, corrective actions must be taken within appropriate timescales to ensure they do not re-occur.

The Code specifies that:

Employment is Freely Chosen

Freedom of Association and Right to Collective Bargaining are respected
